Thank you for your tutorials! I have made this a couple times, I have a few suggested modifications, if you cut all the background from yardage you can cut the triangles from 2 5/8" squares and the use a 1/4" seam rather than a scant quarter just when sewing the triangles to the center squares. The center squares ends up ever so slightly smaller but because the triangles are larger it still easily trims to 3.5". For the rest of the quilt use your regular scant 1/4" seam. You will not lose a single point. I found it much less stressful. Second tip is I have noticed a lot of batik jelly rolls often come with 20 different prints and 2 of each print. The batiks also tend to have a bit more usable width. From each matching pair you can make 5 blocks for a total 100 blocks. The cutting really has no room for error, you need 42.5" of usable width. I found it best to iron the strips flat, then align on the mat to make sure I had enough and the laid flat cut 10 2.5" squares and 5 3.5" rectangles from each piece in the pair. For a 10x10 block layout you need 81 cornerstones. For one of my quilts there were enough strips with more than 42.5" usable to also cut the cornerstones, the second time I did this I cut it from the same fabric as my border and binding, for all the cornerstones 3 1.25" WOF or and extra 4" of yardage was plenty. Also if you had 2 leftover jelly roll strips (if your set had 42 or from something else) this would be perfect use. If you make 100 blocks you will of course need some extra background, border, binding and backing but if a bigger quilt, using every last bit of that special jolly and a little game of fabric chicken to get the heartrate up while you're cutting out your pieces sounds appealing I'd highly recommend! I also have done a 9x11 block layout with a slightly bigger border also made a nice twin bed size and if you do 10x10 layout with an inner border but no outside border it is slightly bigger than the originally but a different vibe without the dark border to it.
How lucky is Kate to have such a treasure from her Great Gramma Mae. I'll be honored to share this pattern to make a wonderful quilt. Thank you Kate, Great Gramma Mae, & Jenny. Such a delight. Imagine all the love & dedicate in her quilt!
Wow, 81 blocks X 4 squares X 4 corners = 1296 little snowball corners to do! That's why some people think quilters are crazy. I love it though! The method shown makes it all so clear.
Oh Jenny you just cracked me up! I’ve been reading all the comments and enjoying what folk had to say. I was trying to do some mental arithmetic to work out how to make it larger and you pop in with this comment! Following you from Australia, love your tutorials 🥰
Love when you tell stories about old quilts. Can you imagine how hard this would have been to make this square with the tools that the quilter in ? Year the original quilt was made. Just amazing
I've never thought of using cuddle fabric as a backing and it really looks quite cuddlesome with the quilting showing through like it does. This entire quilt is so lovely and the colors in the jelly roll are varied enough to make quite delightful to view. Thank you for your detailed instructions and tips along the way. You make everything look so easy.
I wish I had watched this 3 hours ago. I try everything I can to not do sashing but the quilt I'm doing really needed it. I'll be using this trick on my next quilt. THANKS!
This was such a nice idea to honour a quilt from the past! As a child, I slept under quilts my Great Grandma created. I loved looking at all the colours and how she sewed it together. All done by hand by the light of a coal oil lantern. Thanks so much Jennie! You always make it look easy! Take care and stay safe!❤️🪡🧵
Love this! I loved Jenny's reassurance that losing a point isn't likely to be even noticed. It's the kind of fear that makes a person not want to try something new, and she is so confident and encouraging. :)
Thank you for sharing. I got to talk to your daughter Natalie because I ordered from you and all order didn’t come in but your people take care of me. And Natalie got on the phone to talk to me about teaching my grandkids to quilt Lol she’s so funny. God bless you and your family I love vintage quilt thank again
I love Fridays 😊 Always look forward to seeing what MSQC has been making this week. Absolutely love this quilt 😍 And love the advice 🤣🤣 If you can’t see where you’ve lost a point quickly, don’t point it out 🤣🤣 We should all enjoy our sewing 😊 🇬🇧
What a darling quilt! And to really "hide" that one block with different sashing than the four economy blocks, you could mix and match ALL of those sashing strips among the blocks. Thanks for another clever quilt design and the tutorial. Jenny, you're amazing!! ~Diana K.
My grandmother saved the KC Star patterns. I have them now, and I have this original pattern. Thank you for a great tutorial. God bless you and your family
Kim, I have always wondered if the old patterns had details about the construction of the blocks. I have a few of my grandmother's patterns but no construction details.
I watched this on my lunch hour yesterday, and went straight home after work and made my first blocks. This Quilt just stole my heart. And who doesn’t love a good “chat with Jenny” to learn the best way.
Oh my that is a LOT of blocks. But it is oh so pretty! Such a colorful quilt. Would love to make one with blocks the same size as the antique quilt you showed. It had wider sashing too. This one will be my inspiration. Love the idea of cuddle for the back. They do make the most cuddly quilt ever! And you picked such a gorgeous color for this one! Thanks Jenny for sharing this great idea. You make it look so easy!
My favorite aunt’s middle name was Mae. She didn’t quilt but I might have to do this in her memory anyway. I can see this as a great stash buster. Lots more cutting without the jelly roll but a wonderful way to use those smaller scraps I can’t bear to toss!
I’ve been using this sashing “trick” for years-learned at a quilt retreat. It’s so cool about quilting that everyone shares (tips, tricks, techniques, and scraps). Thanks for what you share, Jenny.
Yes! What a beautiful project. I have a box of strips ready to be used. This project will definitely be good for those! Love the story behind it and the name. And, yes, when I am doing the quilt for us, I definitely use the cuddle!! 💜 Have a wonderful long weekend! 🧵
Jenny I really love how you do your tutorials and such a great easy way to do a sashing!!! The cuddle fabric is great on the back is such a nice touch! Thank you so very much!! I love that you showed the beautiful antique quilt!!!!!!!💙
Guao que belleza de quilt. Parece un joyero. Un quilt nuevo, lleno de recuerdos. Me encantó todo!!!! El quilt, el tutorial con dos excelentes tips la técnica para cortar los triángulos me encantó y la de los corner stones ni hablar. Y la parte de atrás del quilt quedó bellísima también. Es un quilt reversible. Nunca me pierdo los tutoriales de los viernes y les puedo decir que éste no tuvo desperdicio. Excelente!!! Gracias por compartir. Les envío bendiciones desde Venezuela!!!
This quilt is so pretty!! I love it. Jenny I love that you are left handed it as helped me so much. I am quilting now because of your instructions. I am a big fan of yours and all Missouri Star Quilts! Thank you so much!
I love this quilt! How will I ever get all of these done! This would make a really cute table runner too. Thanks Jenny for another great, historical quilt.
I would never get that many finished. I'm thinking six blocks by seven blocks for a throw size. Add the borders and you have a good sofa quilt to curl up under.
This would be a great block for my quillows. You need a "runway" of 2yds long by 45ish inches wide. Great way to use my Bee Basics charms for the background and a solid for the blocks. Thanks again Jenny for another great idea.
Great pattern to use up lots of small scraps too! Too small for me though, I’m legally blind and I have a hard enough time doing the simpler patterns. But, I’ll not stop quilting!
My vision isn’t great, so my worst thing is to thread my needle! If I’m using a smaller size, even the needle threaders don’t go through the needle hole!
I bought the patterns for the Grandma Mae quilt and the Grandma Etta quilt. Both my grandma AND my great-grandma were named Etta Mae so I thought it was very appropriate to make at least one of these quilts in their honor.
Beautiful Donna, love it and am going to make it into a baby quilt too. Thank you for bringing this antique block back for us to make and brag about. lol 😉❣
As an alternative, I think if you already happen to have the large Creative Grids Pineapple Trim Tool (Jenny did a video on this a couple of years ago), and just used it for the first round, you would come up with a perfect 3-1/2" block, then you could go on to do your sashings. I just finished a pineapple quilt, and that's what jogged my memory. The Trim Tool calls for a 2-1/2" square in the middle, so I think that would work. It's just another way of getting to the same result. Also, if you've already invested in the Trim Tool, it gives you another use for it, which is always a good thing.
This quilt is so beautiful. I wouldn’t have the patience to make all the little economy blocks. Maybe one day you could do the same pattern with 4- 5” squares. I can’t do the math in my head 😀
Maybe you could do the math with a pencil, paper, and a calculator! Maybe break out the graph paper, draw some squares and sashing, add seam allowances to everything. If you know the size of your block, you can decide how wide you want your sashing, etc.
Thank you for sharing this tip, I didn't know this sashing trick. that makes it so simple to make the sashing line up which on some of my quilts is wonky. beautiful quilt I can't wait to make this. Thanks for kewl tips Jenny!
This looks like a fun block to make and not all that hard. I sash my blocks this way also. General question for anyone ~ When you back with Cuddle fabric, do you also sandwich with batting? or do you skip the batting with the cuddle backing. Thanks!
I would use strip piecing for the cornerstone/sashing strips and sub-cut them into the desired widths instead. My accuracy would be much better and all the pressing would be done before cutting. I like the pattern. It’s very striking and you could do all kinds of shading. As always, lots of fun and inspiration here. Thank you!
I would like to see a tutorial on how to repair an old block or quilt. I have my grandmother’s blocks and pattern which she cut from a magazine, but one of the quilts and some of the blocks need repair. They are about 50 years old
I always add my sashing on the side (and top with cornerstone) to the block as I go, instead of sewing one long piece between rows. I think doing so makes it more accurate. Just a thought, but I would love a tutorial on fixing old quilts. I have an old quilt in a bow tie pattern that I want to fix but I have no idea where to even begin. The fabrics in some of the blocks have worn so much they have torn or they are frayed up to the seam. It's a pretty quilt my mother used for years, now that she has passed I want to restore it as a keepsake.

Wow there are 26 pieces for each block, mind boggling. It’s gorgeous. It would take me for EVER. Jenny you make it look so easy.
You could set this up as a leader and ender quilt. With all your regular sewing, you could get this done easily in a year! 💖🌞🌵😷
Or just make a smaller one! Hahah
Oh Jenny you just cracked me up!
I’ve been reading all the comments and enjoying what folk had to say.
I was trying to do some mental arithmetic to work out how to make it larger and you pop in with this comment!
Following you from Australia, love your tutorials 🥰
Kate's grandma passed on a beautiful project to revamp. That is beautiful. Your hair look nice and you look good in the black.
This is how I sash ALL my quilts. It’s makes rows line up perfectly every time.
Me too! Otherwise I never get them to line up right.
Me too. And I almost always have corner stones
Love when you tell stories about old quilts. Can you imagine how hard this would have been to make this square with the tools that the quilter in ? Year the original quilt was made. Just amazing

I love it when you recreate the old quilt blocks. Beautiful.
Love the old story & her quilt. Then u took it & made it modern, love it!
I watched this on my lunch hour yesterday, and went straight home after work and made my first blocks. This Quilt just stole my heart. And who doesn’t love a good “chat with Jenny” to learn the best way.

That iron is a thing of beauty. My favorite color.

You are amazing but I think your super power is that you can cut fabric with your left and your right hands! Love your videos!
U are super and works are also super hats off to you. I am frm INDIA native of KERALA
Love the cornerstone sashing technique. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful quilt!!!
I’ve been using this sashing “trick” for years-learned at a quilt retreat. It’s so cool about quilting that everyone shares (tips, tricks, techniques, and scraps). Thanks for what you share, Jenny.
I’ve been quilting for only a few years but garment sewing for many and Jenny from MSQ has been wonder teacher! Another great video
I love this! So easy to make the blocks bigger so theres not so many blocks! On point would give it a nice look too.💞
Thank you Jenny! I love all the little facts you tell us about the blocks. You did that in a lot of your older videos. It's so fun! 💕
Very nice, easy and beautiful, I love this 😀(in sha Allah) I will make it,thank you for sharing this video.
Jenny, you ALWAYS do a superb job with your tutorials especially with your little extra tips. Your talent is so appreciated! Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you! I needed this today….
you are such a good teacher jennny...from Wales, uk
Love the remaking of older quilt blocks! Thank you for sharing this. ❤️
Super gorgeous beautiful pattern thank you thanks lots of love for sharing
Yes! What a beautiful project. I have a box of strips ready to be used. This project will definitely be good for those! Love the story behind it and the name. And, yes, when I am doing the quilt for us, I definitely use the cuddle!! 💜 Have a wonderful long weekend! 🧵
What a really pretty quilt. I love that you used these bright colors to do this vintage inspired quilt. Thanks a bunch for sharing!
I'm so happy to see you looking so good.. Stay safe my friend.. love this quilt. Another favorite.. yeah
Jenny I really love how you do your tutorials and such a great easy way to do a sashing!!! The cuddle fabric is great on the back is such a nice touch! Thank you so very much!! I love that you showed the beautiful antique quilt!!!!!!!💙
This one touched my heart. My moms name was Mae. I may have to make this one.
This is an absolutely wonderful quilt! Thanks Jenny for sharing the pattern with us. 💜
I LOVE when Friday's daily deal goes with the tutorial!! Love this quilt 💛💛💛
I would have liked to seen a diagonal line on the template for when I have to square up half or quarter square blocks.
I absolutely LOVE this block!! Thank you Jenny! ❤️❤️❤️
Jenny you are fantastic i love all your tutorials and quilts you explain so nicely Thank you so much!!!xxxx
Love that one
Love the tiny piecing. Beautiful quilt.
That sashing trick is fantastic, game changing! Thank you :)
I had a Grandma Mae. Might have to think about this one.

Love this quilt! I can see using up a bunch of scrap batiks! On my bucket list ! Thank you Jenny!
Great tip on sewing the sashing and the cornerstones together.
Totally enjoyed the history lesson on the sweet block. Especially when there is a personal connection. Loved this pattern. That you so much 🖐🌷
Jenny what a lovely quilt, thanks for the tip on the sashing it definitely helps. I love the old school look!
Thank you Annie Mae 😍.
I like extra cutting room 😊 ty Jenni
My husband's grandma's name was Mae. Think this would be a great use of some of my scrappy jelly rolls!
Oh my! As I am watching this, I am questioning my ability to continue patience while I make it.
Thank you. I love how you updated this quilt in all these beautiful colors.
This quilt is so pretty!! I love it. Jenny I love that you are left handed it as helped me so much. I am quilting now because of your instructions. I am a big fan of yours and all Missouri Star Quilts!
Thank you so much!
I like that sashing trick! Love the quilt! ❤️
Yayy Jenny!!! I love a small detailed quilt!
Love the History. Beautiful
I would love to try this as a hand- tied quilt . So cute!
I love this quilt! How will I ever get all of these done! This would make a really cute table runner too. Thanks Jenny for another great, historical quilt.

Such a lovely quilt block! Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful quilt! Thank you for the little tips! Such as shortening stitch length for the small pieces.
Great pattern to use up lots of small scraps too! Too small for me though, I’m legally blind and I have a hard enough time doing the simpler patterns. But, I’ll not stop quilting!
No reason not to make the blocks bigger! Especially if you are using scraps. This size just works with jelly rolls. 💖🌞🌵😷
Making it with a charm pack would be fun
Good ideas!
@@lesliekisser3354 g you just tslove
My vision isn’t great, so my worst thing is to thread my needle! If I’m using a smaller size, even the needle threaders don’t go through the needle hole!

Love and blessings to you all
This pattern would be a great stash buster for leftover jelly roll strips and even as a mini quilt to hang in craft room
You are such a great instructor. So easy to understand!
This is so beautiful! Can't wait to make this! I just adore the vintage blocks! Thank you, as always, for sharing Jenny! ❤
Stunning quilt
Love this will be a great way to use up all my scraps from log cabins. Thanks Jenny.
Beautiful Donna, love it and am going to make it into a baby quilt too.
Thank you for bringing this antique block back for us to make and brag about. lol 😉❣
I think you meant Jenny. 😏 I'm a huge fan of both Jenny and Donna.
Oops, thank you Sharon. I stand corrected. I apologize Jenny.
This quilt is so pretty, love it! Thank You 🤗🤗🤗👍👍
The Babylock you are sewing on looks exactly like my Brother!
Oh my! I love this quilt! What a great use for a jelly roll. I’ll have to go search in my sewing room closet for a jelly roll.
Omg thank you so much this just solved my current quilt corner stone problem i could not get them to line up correctly and i was stalled.
This was adorable! Loved the sashing hack!!
your quilt came out beautiful loved the bright colors want to try it thank you for the video

So pretty and bright!
This looks like a fun block to make and not all that hard. I sash my blocks this way also. General question for anyone ~ When you back with Cuddle fabric, do you also sandwich with batting? or do you skip the batting with the cuddle backing. Thanks!
I really enjoy your show Thank you for taking the time to show your new stuff 🙂
Lovely quilt. Thank you Jenny
I love it! Would look amazing on point too!
Absolutely beautiful ❤️
I would use strip piecing for the cornerstone/sashing strips and sub-cut them into the desired widths instead. My accuracy would be much better and all the pressing would be done before cutting.
I like the pattern. It’s very striking and you could do all kinds of shading. As always, lots of fun and inspiration here. Thank you!
I would like to see a tutorial on how to repair an old block or quilt. I have my grandmother’s blocks and pattern which she cut from a magazine, but one of the quilts and some of the blocks need repair. They are about 50 years old
Yess! I also have an old quilt - probably 75+ years old that needs repairs. I'd love to see a tutorial on that.
I have a top that is hand pieced, and don't know what to do with it. I wonder if it's too old to even try to quilt. It's a beautiful Log Cabin.
Me too. Cos sometimes you only need to mend a block not make a complete new quilt.
Great idea!
Me, too; but not on FB, as I will not use that app.
LOVE THIS ❤
Love this! Thank you, Jenny!
I love the sashing hint! I am at the stage of sashing with cornerstones so this helpful hint was timely for me.
Love love love this quilt!!! 💗
This sashing process is how i do my t-shirt quilts. Makes it much easier to line up the blocks. Love this block. Patty
I always add my sashing on the side (and top with cornerstone) to the block as I go, instead of sewing one long piece between rows. I think doing so makes it more accurate. Just a thought, but I would love a tutorial on fixing old quilts. I have an old quilt in a bow tie pattern that I want to fix but I have no idea where to even begin. The fabrics in some of the blocks have worn so much they have torn or they are frayed up to the seam. It's a pretty quilt my mother used for years, now that she has passed I want to restore it as a keepsake.
